Rolex vs. Omega - Picture comparision please!
In order of having some goals to atain, I'm starting to narrow and focus on my looooooong wishlist, and I want to start with a big watch, that I think it will be not so big...Unfortunately I can't see one in the flesh, as my AD have to order one for me, so I was wondering if anyone have these two watches to make a size comparision with pictures please!Omega Seamaster Chronodiver vs. Rolex Deep SeaI have the Chronodiver, and want to buy the Rolex, and really love the size of the Chronodiver, so if the Rolex feels the same or *just* a little more big, so it's a winnerSo, why the Chronodiver? because I think is the closest watch to the Rolex that I have maybe the Swiss Army Dive MAster 500 can be another size option in the same rangebut don't know for sureThanks in advance

Would you buy a RO without papers?
I have found a yellow gold Royal Oak Dual Time from a very reputable seller, it's the exact watch I was looking for.The only catch is that it is without box & papers.

I know that the Royal Oak isn't a super dive watch like a Sea-Dweller or Submariner, but is it a watch that could fulfill what I am looking for? I particularly like the plain steel and blue 15300 and find it to be much more attractive than a Nautilus or Submariner but if its not really suited for the role I would have in mind, I would
